It's Hard to Believe

It's hard to believe that my oldest baby is 17.

It's hard to believe that he is a junior in high school.

It's hard to believe that we are discussing colleges for real and not just as a thought of the future.

It's hard to believe that we only have a year and a half left as a family of 5 when booking flights or being seated at a restaurants.

It's hard to believe that my baby boy is almost a man.

It's hard to believe that before long his choices will not require our say so or input.

It's hard to believe that time has passed so quickly….I blinked…I only blinked.

It's hard to believe that my rosey cheeked, tan baby boy is now a handsome young man.

It's hard to believe that he has gone from only seeing Texas as a boy to seeing the world as a teen.

It's hard to believe that my husband and I, with the help of our almighty God, has raised such a respectful, responsible, reliable, intelligent, and genuine young man.

It's hard to believe any of these things…..Although we have just 18 more months before he ventures out on his own, I will try not to blink to fast. I will try to cherish every moment between now and June 2017.  I will hug him and squeeze him as much and as often as I can because all of these things are….

HARD TO BELIEVE!
